Letter from Mother to Daughters

To my dearest daughters, Lily and Elizabeth

I’m sorry it’s come to this time and you’re reading this in such circumstances. I want you two to be happy and I know you’ve both got the will power to do so, you’ve always been best friends as well as sisters and I hope that's how it will always be. I want you to find your older sister, Katherine.  I don’t expect you to understand, just listen to my reasons. You don’t really know of your sister and haven’t met her. The reason for this is she was put for adoption… by me. I couldn’t cope. There was too much pressure and I was young as it was. She won’t know this has happened and I owe it to her to know I’m gone from all of your lives. Please find her, do your best like I know you always do! Thank you.

I’ll love you forever,

Mother x

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the letter we wanted it to be handwritten to make it more personal and add a friendly personality for the mother, we wanted it to look italic to also make it feel as though the women was an educated woman. As this letter is the only remains off the mother we wanted to portray the character to be very friendly and warm which is typical characteristics of a mother figure in the film. As a group we decided that we didn't want to feel any hatred for the mother for adopting her daughter, we wanted to the audience to feel empathy towards the mother character even though she is never actually featured in the film.
